#HyggeHourReadathon
Pictured: Awe inspiring sunrise; late afternoon cloudy, windy,river walk; flowers found on the walk: tete-a-tete a miniature daffodil, regular daffodil shoots trying to form buds. #lotsolace experiences during the day.

Finished the two,very different mysteries on the top row.
Read March/spring chapters in Winters in the World & The Wild Year. Currently listening to The Order,so far uniquely thrilling & suspenseful. The Tiffany Girls is fascinating with good characterization.

Another hit in this series.The author‘s descriptions of the fog ridden streets of the poor of Cork,that carry the noxious smells of decay, & raw sewage created a sensory experience for me.The murder is centered around the new & growing cigarette industry.The Rev.Mother‘s humanity,foibles & seemingly never ending empathy for others shines throughout.DI Patrick Cashman & journalist Eileen MacSweeney,are major players in solving this as well.

TheSpineView Fantastic! 2d

Reading The Tiffany Girls tonight,which has taken me down a rabbit hole hole of stain glass, artists,Tiffany‘s life story, & the “Tiffany girls” who worked for him-Apparently there was an exhibit in 2017 at the New York Historical Society that featured these women & their stories. I want to know more about them. https://www.nyhistory.org/exhibitions/gallery-tiffany-lamps

This is why when I read history, I enjoy reading historical novels of the same time period, or those that allude to that time period.
I just started this novel today. Quite behind…I read it decades ago- wonder if I remember anything?! #sundaybuddyread

IndoorDame I‘ve really been noticing how much more of this flavor she captures than any historical fiction book ever does! It‘s completely of its time. And I think maybe the “matrix of emotion” is one of her best skills as a novelist. 1w

This mystery,set in 7th century Ireland,has a complicated plot.Sister Fidelma is an advocate of the courts.She is called upon by her brother,heir to the Cashel kingdom,to investigate the murder of a renowned scholar.The investigation takes Sister Fidel on a prolonged & tortuous journey to discover the truth.At times I felt impatient with this oblique & unfathomable quest,but In the end,all the puzzle pieces fit.#bookedintime #serieslove2024

#HyggeHour #litsolace #naturalitsy
Like @TheBookHippie my Hygge hour was earlier this evening due to Emmy Awards.
Pictured: my reading area, my book, Poe visiting while I read, my morning coffee with a treat of a blueberry scone & creme fraiche.
